The five-year-old who was killed in a Cornwall car crash last Thursday has been described as the ‘sweetest little boy’ who liked to give his elderly neighbours cuddles.
A GoFundMe page has been set up by a friend of the family of Dexter, who died when a Ford Fiesta hit him on Penpillick Hill, near St Austell, on April 25.
It says: ‘Dexter was a beautiful little ray of sunshine who brightened up any room & the most loving little boy who would so often like to give the elderly neighbour cuddles & was just the sweetest little boy.
‘So fearless & carefree with such a loving spirit.
‘He is going to be so missed by so many!’
Devon & Cornwall Police said the driver of the car was uninjured.
